Ah, to be so rich that dropping $183 million on a 75-metre (248-foot) floating palace is just… a passing whim.
That’s R3,6 billion, just FYI.
That’s the case for one mystery billionaire who commissioned the jaw-dropping Feadship One in 2023, then decided to flog it before even setting his gold-plated feet on board. Yes, really. The yacht hasn’t even sniffed a champagne bottle, and it’s already back on the market.
Clearly, when you’re in that kind of tax bracket, impulse shopping includes luxury vessels with their own helipads.
The Feadship One, as the yacht is called, is not a basic boat by any means. Designed by the legends at Studio De Voogt and dressed to kill by French design wizards Gilles & Boissier, this beast is dripping in opulence. Think: a beach club, gym with ocean views, a glass-bottomed pool with bar seating, and enough glam to make Jeff Bezos’ Koru look like a speedboat.
She sleeps 12 in six ridiculously spacious cabins, and the owner’s suite is basically a floating penthouse complete with a private terrace, spa pool, lounge, study, and ensuite… all stacked on its own private deck. Because, of course, it is.
The One also has its helipad and a tender garage packed with some cool water toys.
And while most of us are comparing flight prices, this guy is casually listing his untouched megayacht for more than he paid, $195 million, hoping to turn a cheeky $12M profit. Flip it like it’s a suburban townhouse, right?
Maybe he got bored. Maybe he’s upgrading. Maybe he realised he doesn’t actually like boats. Who knows? All we know is The One is up for grabs, and all it needs now is another ultra-wealthy buyer who wants to own a yacht without the hassle of, you know, using it.
If you’ve got a spare R3.6 billion lying around, you could be that person. We’ll just be over here, green with envy and Googling “how to marry rich.”
